Culture and Customs of Serbia and Montenegro (Culture and Customs of Europe)by Christopher Deliso
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With their recently declared independence from one another in the aftermath of the breakdown of the USSR, Serbia and Montenegro are coming into their own, all while keeping their long histories of traditions and customs alive and growing. A blend of Eastern traditions with European cultures provides a unique foundation for these Balkan countries. Narrative chapters examine every day contemporary life in Serbia and Montenegro, focusing on topics such as daily religious practices, gender roles, family life, cuisine, fashion, literature, art and architecture, and more. This volume is the perfect addition to high school and public libraries, and is even ideal for college students studying abroad. Book News Annotation:A specialist on the Balkans, American journalist and travel writer
Deliso does not take up the issue of recent events in Yugoslavia and
its successor states nor the worldwide portrayal of Serbians as
monsters. He includes just enough history to provide a foundation for
discussions of the land and people; religion and thought; marriage,
gender, family, and education; holidays, customs, and leisure;
cuisine and fashion; literary and performing arts; and art and
architecture.
